Good job. Mores appeared since as you can see. Wonder what drew this wankers here? I see similar shit at a music forum i post at. Doubt they realy trying to sell shit just trying to annoy i would imagine?

Good question - With version updates of the software, there is potential exploits (in registration) to get past the user registration with varying degrees of success - if they can get past one question for example it makes the effort much less and the amount of time spent to make an account is much less.

Spambots will delibrately do a few things to make them seem like normal users:- use a gmail or yahoo account (they have a big stash of dodgy accounts to use from)- use diverse ipranges that are not practical to ban

The interesting thing also is that some of these spam things i was also getting at work... I've got a feeling something big globally has been switched on or is having a trial run.

Yeah i've deleted a few accounts as well, 3 just then and two the other day.

(For Roach & Nero) Easiest way I've found click on user -> administer user -> under the heading delete user -> delete user and delete posts. Thought there's no real advantage banning them to as next time they come it will be a different ip address anyway..

Yes I've used that before as well Funky, but I cleaned a good page and a half of topics from the board on Saturday, but I used the moderator control panel. I selected each dodgy topic, marked it and did a mass delete.
